Senator Eteng Williams' Scholarship Initiative Empowers 12 Youths with Foreign Scholarships


Senator Eteng Jonah Williams, representing Cross River Central Senatorial District, has achieved another remarkable feat by securing full foreign scholarships for 12 students from his constituency to pursue postgraduate studies at prestigious universities in the UK, Germany, France, and Malaysia.



According to a media release from his office on August 27, 2024, the beneficiaries were selected from local governments across the senatorial district and beyond. Four scholars will pursue Ph.D. degrees in the UK and Scotland, while the remaining eight will pursue Master's degrees at renowned universities in the UK, Germany, France, and Malaysia.


Senator Williams, also Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), expressed gratitude to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for the opportunity to empower his constituents with quality education. He emphasized that education is the bedrock of society and the best empowerment for young people.


The senator has also extended the scholarship to support indigent students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies in federal and state universities in Nigeria.


One of the beneficiaries, Egbonyi Darlington Egbe, a lecturer at the University of Calabar, expressed heartfelt thanks to Senator Williams for the opportunity to pursue his Ph.D. in Energy and Sustainability at Cranfield University, UK. Egbe had previously applied for several scholarships without success, and this award covers his tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses, enabling him to focus on graduating with excellence.


Egbe praised Senator Williams, saying, "May God continue to furnish you with all you need to help even more people lead better lives. Thank you, and God bless you beyond measure."
